QA Architect



Job description

Job Description

We are seeking a QA Architect to lead the testing strategy and quality direction for a major IDP migration effort.

This role requires deep technical expertise, strong communication skills, and the ability to think holistically about how systems evolve over time.

You will work closely with engineering, DevOps, product, and security teams to ensure our migration and modernization efforts are executed with minimal risk, high reliability, and clarity of testing approach.

You will not only guide what needs to be tested, but also why and how, ensuring test architecture, tooling, data flows, and CI/CD processes support the long-term direction of the platform.

This includes shaping test frameworks, leading testing strategy across multiple teams, and mentoring engineers to elevate quality practices at scale.

 

Responsibilities:

  • Define and lead the end-to-end test strategy for a phased platform migration, ensuring clarity on the current state, target state, and transition approach.

  • Architect scalable and reusable test automation frameworks (component, integration, end-to-end, API, and performance).

  • Collaborate with engineering leadership to determine what tests need to be built, what needs to coexist, and where risk is highest.

  • Work closely with teams involved in IDP migration (e.g., Okta → Auth0), ensuring test coverage accounts for user action flows and identity management behavior.

  • Ensure test automation supports and is fully integrated into CI/CD workflows (GitHub Actions).

  • Guide testing related to data migration, ensuring validation of behavior, state, and compatibility across existing and new systems.

  • Support testing for SOCKS-relevant connectivity to ensure compliance and traceability.

  • Partner with platform and DevOps teams on testing implications related to AWS, Kubernetes/AKS, and environment configuration.

  • Lead migration risk discussions: determine what changes now, what remains, and how to reduce disruption.

  • Provide architectural direction for automation tooling (e.g., Playwright, API test frameworks).

  • Mentor and advise a Quality Engineering organization individuals, elevating testing maturity and technical capability.

  • Measure and report test automation metrics, including code, function, and test case coverage.

  • Operate autonomously, even within a loosely-defined scope.

  • Require very little oversight beyond high level direction.

  • Show initiative beyond knocking tasks off a list and able to identify their own areas of future work for themselves and their team.

  • Work effectively within a team environment, to regularly solicit and act on feedback, focus on root causes, and continually strive to improve.

  • Review code throughout the software development lifecycle.

  • Create tools that can be used by others.

  • Take part in software design discussions and planning discussions.

 


Qualifications

  • 7+ years of experience in Software Quality Engineering, Test Automation, or Software Engineering roles, with significant experience guiding test strategy.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, iterative development environment with short turn-around times.

  • Demonstrated ownership of test architecture for large-scale system migrations or modernization projects.

  • Good understanding of Service Oriented Architecture.

  • Experience with client-side performance optimization, security, and accessibility.

  • Strong experience designing and implementing test frameworks (Playwright or similar UI/API automation tools).

  • Engineering practices such as refactoring, TDD, pair programming, and code reviews.

  • Deep understanding of CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions) and how authentication dependencies influence automated testing.

  • Experience working with authentication identity providers, ideally authentication migrations (e.g., Okta → Auth0).

  • Strong SQL knowledge and experience working with MySQL and PostgreSQL.

  • Familiarity with cloud and orchestration environments such as AWS and Kubernetes / AKS.

  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills — able to work closely with product, engineering, and platform teams.

  • Strong ability to prioritize based on risk, impact, and business milestones.

  • Experience working in Agile environments and guiding multiple teams on testing best practices.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

  • Well-versed in programming languages (Ruby/Rails, Javascript, Go, or Python).
